    How about we keep it at the same place as last time since it's short notice.

    If anyone is in for meeting up this coming Wednesday, January 8th, let me know.

    See you there!!! :freaky

    I am out this month for sure.We were in a wreck last night.A 16 year old with a new car and new license turned in front of us and I T boned her in the passenger rear door.Unfortunately,I made the mistake of agreeing to handle things privately instead of getting the police involved.Now I am stuck with a wrecked car.It doesn't look that bad.It damaged the unibody.Now the doors don't open and shut properly and the bumper support and header panel are bent enough to cause over heating.I bought my cousins old car today.He bought a new one over the weekend.I just have to fix the blower motor and replace a CV joint.

    Old wrecked Cavalier.My grandma bought this car brand spanking new and gave it to me.

    My cousins old Honda Accord.Never thought I'd own a Honda auto.

    Before anyone asks,the red car in the back ground needs more work than a good used newer car would cost.We can come to an agreement on what to do with it.Part it out or just scrap the entire car.

    Was on the way (had all my Randy clothes on) and my bike wouldn't crank. I got it going, finally, but didn't want to have to jump it to get back home. I really thought I would get more than 19 months out of an AGM battery........ :huh

    Well, I ride my motorcycle about the same way I drove my trucks and now I can say about the moto.......... that's a good bike to break down on the yard and not out somewhere :eek1

    How many made it out to din din tonight?



    The Opa,was that battery a Scorpion AGM?I have had excellent results with batterystuff.com and their Scorpion AGM batteries.One of mine is 5 years old and sits through all of crappy winters in the bike, and never fails to start after 6 months of setting.

    yes it is a scorpion agm from batterystuff. I'm thinking the 7 month layoff to recuperate the wrist may have hurt it although I did keep it charged. I would crank it every once in a while keep the gas from sitting too long, warm the oil. Now I read that may not have been a good thing to do. And a while back I was working on something and noticed the terminals were quite loose. I may have hurt it by not getting full charge for who knows how long.........sigh:hmmmmm
